Overview

At 2,962.06 m above sea level (NHN), the highest mountain in Germany is Bavaria's Zugspitze, whose height until 2000 was given as 2,961.47 m above sea level (NN).^[1] The lowest height occurs in the city of Bremen: at 32.5 m the highest natural point of the smallest German state is located in Friedehorst Park in the Bremen quarter of Burglesum, although the rubbish tip in Bremen-Blockland, whose summit reaches 49 m, is higher. The highest natural point in the capital city of Berlin, the Große Müggelberg, is, at 114.7 m^[2] still 5.4 metres lower than the rubble heap of the Teufelsberg, which was piled up after the Second World War and reaches a height of 120.1 m;^[3] but the highest point in Berlin is an artificially created mound of the Arkenberge, which attains a height of about 122 m.^[4] Together with the highest points of the states of Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, none reaches a height of 200 m.

At 201 m, the Kutschenberg is the highest summit in Brandenburgs. However, the highest point in the state is actually a spot on the Heidehöhe which reaches 201.4 m, but whose summit lies a few metres over the border in the neighbouring state of Saxony.^[5]

The only summit of the sixteen that is not marked by a summit cross or a stone is the rise in Friedehorst Park. The summit of the Großer Beerberg lies within a biosphere reserve and is not, therefore, accessible to the public. However, peak baggers may count the observation platform which lies just below the summit.^[5]
